HP Pavilion 15-ak010nr 15.6" Laptop

Expert Review

If you want a prebuilt system that you can pick and purchase quickly and easily then this is a great choice, although it does lack some options for customization or upgrades. However, what you get here is still a great budget gaming laptop with a 15-inch display. It includes an Intel i7 quad-core processor and 8GB of DDR3 memory which is good but you can get systems with DDR4 RAM for just a bit more money. You get a 1TB hard drive which offers plenty of space for games and other programs along with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M graphics card with 4GB of dedicated video memory. However, it should be noted the graphics chip offers DDR3 memory while other budget laptops include GDDR5 video RAM. While you can't really upgrade these components, you also don’t really need to as this laptop should give you plenty of performance for PC gaming. Lastly, you get support for Wireless-N and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, along with two USB 3.0 ports, a USB 2.0 port, and an HDMI connection.Rating: 4.25/5
